Drawn from the Vault

Registration is Open!

Description:   

Drawn from the Vault is an immersive workshop experience sharing the joy of creating art while viewing and discussing art from our permanent collection. This unique opportunity provides participants with a private and intimate viewing of a work of art in our studio. Each week, we’ll use these moments as inspiration for our own creations.  

Who will love this 3-part workshop? Anyone who is motivated by creativity and would love to develop their personal visual language by exploring an artist’s creative process. In this workshop, we will explore a birchbark biting by Angelique Merasty, a painting by Allen Sapp and a photograph of a constructed diorama by Diana Thorneycroft.  

As a bonus, we’ll take a tour of the MacKenzie Art Gallery vault.

Moments from the last Drawn from the vault workshop

A young child in a blue shirt sits at a table covered with art supplies, including paintbrushes, paint bottles, cups, and paper. The child is holding a paintbrush, focused on painting something out of the frame. Other children are visible in the background, likely attending one of the classes and workshops offered.
A teacher stands in a classroom with large windows, interacting with a group of five students who are all facing away from the camera. The students appear to be engaged in a hands-on activity involving clay. Bright posters and artwork decorate the walls, enhancing this dynamic workshop atmosphere.
A young girl holds up a small clay sculpture of a face in front of her own, beaming with joy. Her fingers are coated with clay, evidence of her creativity from the classes and workshops she attends. The background shows a blurred indoor setting with blue and neutral tones.
